Imagine this: you’re pulling open the drawer of your favorite mid-century credenza, and tucked away in the corner is a small, round compartment – a seemingly unassuming feature that invites curiosity. It’s a simple design, yet it holds infinite possibilities. Whether you’re storing cufflinks, keys, rings, or even those special little treasures that always seem to find their way into drawers, this space is entirely yours to customize. There are no rules, and certainly, no “credenza police” dictating what you can or cannot place in this charming little nook.
In the 1960s and ’70s, furniture designers weren’t just focused on clean lines and minimalist shapes. They also added thoughtful touches that made everyday living just a little bit easier. The small carved section in the drawer, like the one shown here, is a perfect example. Whether it was originally intended for coins, jewelry, or tiny household items, it now represents something entirely unique to each of us.
